My Journey from Fatman to 140.6 Triathlete

SBR TriSwim

So the same guys who make Foggle and Trislide make shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and lotion stuff. Since I now use it all the time I figured it was time to actually post a review!

So for the ladies:

I’ve been told this stuff is great and here’s what the experts say:

• Formulated for swimmers or active individuals who are exposed to harsh drying elements such as Chlorine, Bromine, Salt and Sun.

• Citrus scent is appealing to men, women and children and is considered a “salon rated” product.

• No animal testing / Paraben Free

TRISWIM is the Official Hair & Skin Care product for United States Masters Swimming

TRISWIM’s Chlorine-Out Shampoo contains Aloe which is a popular botanical used for its moisturizing, soothing and calming properties. TRISWIM Shampoo also contains Vitamins A, plus Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), which is an important element to both hydrate and increase volume potential. TRISWIM is safe to use on permed and color treated hair, removes the Chlorine, Bromine, salt water and chemical odor, and eliminates the “greenish tint” caused by Copper. Restores, hydrates and nourishes hair. Recommendation: Following TRISWIM Shampoo, use TRISWIM Conditioner to completely nourish hair follicles. Safe to use every day.

See? Pretty cool right!

For the “Metro” men –

see the ladies write-up above

For kids –

Yes, you can totally use this stuff. See above if you’re a lady or below if you are a manly-man.

So… you really should get some. Toss it in your swim bag and use it after swim practice. Plain and simple.

If you’re travelling, get these little badboys (2 0z travel size)

they even come in manly-man (64oz) size:

Ron’s Take on things:

I use the Shampoo and Body Wash all the time. LOVE it. Makes me not smell like a pool in front of clients. I didn’t think that was a BAD thing but apparently not everyone likes to smell like a pool. It also makes my hair, what’s left of it, not all crunchy and nasty feeling and pointing in random directions – so that’s good.

I also use the body lotion from time to time when my local pool tries to kill me. Sometimes I get itchy spots after swims and if I use the lotion a couple days, bam, all better soon enough. It’s not all greasy and stuff so it doesn’t stick to my work clothes.

I’m pretty smell sensitive relative to perfumes and the scent doesn’t bother me at all. I still use baby shampoo on a normal basis, because most shampoos make me stink myself out. So it’s saying something that the SBR TriSwim products don’t.

Overall A+ from me. If you want to try some and see me, just ask. Triswim has been very generous with giving me little sample packs to pass out to friends so you can try it without having to spend any money. I also try to give them out at Swim meets and some swim practices.

* SBR who makes TriSwim is a sponsor of Team Rev3. That means they give me free product to try and give out. I do not sell it nor am I compensated for my review. Want to buy some? Go to your local Triathlon store, Swim store, or http://www.sbrsportsinc.com/triswim.html

NOTE: If you store doesn’t carry it, tell them to get with the program and get some! That way you can skip the shipping
